City auction for charity
Evening Standard21.10.08
THE Prince's Trust will test the City's generosity in difficult times with its annual auction next month.
The charity hopes to raise more than £1million to help unemployed young people. Lots include a diamond necklace by royal jewellers Asprey, a guitar signed by the Rolling Stones and chances to meet film, music and sports stars.
Bidders will be City high-fliers and the charity hopes the credit crunch won't stop them digging deep.
Annabel Kirk, of the trust, said: "We believe that the rising numbers of unemployed young people make our case more important than ever."
The auction will be held on 6 November at Old Billingsgate.
